These Are The Luxury Homes Across Canada That Your Millennial Income Can Buy You Right Now
We may not be the richest generation, but we can still afford some pretty sweet pads.
Who doesn't dream of owning their own home one day? It's kind of part of the grand plan, isn't it?
According to a report by Royal LePage, the average salary of someone in Canada born from 1987-1993 is just above $38,000. This means that as a single millennial, you'd typically have a budget of around $200,000 to spend on a house. If you have a double household income with a partner, you'd be able to spend around $400,000.
So the question is, what can that even get you? Well, the answer to that all depends on where you're willing to buy.

If you dream of owning a home in Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal, I hate to burst your bubble, but it's going to take a lot more than $400,000 to make that happen.
However, there are some gems hidden around Canada that could have you living in luxury for a relatively small fee. They may not be like something you'd see in the Hollywood Hills, but it's as close as we're going to get. Pools and waterfront pads? Sounds like luxury to me!
